I had been looking to get into a used SL and had my sights set on a 1991
500SL with 95k in my area. It's white with AMG rims and looks sharp. Dealer is asking $13k. I've also been a fan of the XK8 series by Jaguar and just found one listed at another dealer for the EXACT same price as the 500SL. Except the Jag is a 98 with 75k. Any thoughts on which way I should sway? The XK8 is six years newer but for some reason I trust German Engineering more. No doubt the Jaguar is a beautiful car and i'm sure the newer engineering shows in the way it drives. Opinions? I'm torn between both.- posted
